Question: 7 . 1 3 The enzyme catalyzed reaction: E + S P + E The rate of formation P is observed in the lab as

7.13 The enzyme catalyzed reaction:
E+SP+E
The rate of formation P is observed in the lab as shown in Fig. P7.12 with an enzyme loading of E0=50 Units/L. In an
industrial application, it is decided that enzyme loading can be raised to 75 Units/L. This reaction is to be carried out
in a fluidized CSTR with an immobilized enzyme system. The volumetric flow rate is 380Lh and the feed concen-
tration of the substrate is 60mmolL. Assume that there is no loss of the enzyme to the effluent and the effectiveness
factor of the immobilized enzymes is 100%, that is, no impact of immobilization on the enzyme on catalytic activity.
Determine the conversion of substrate if the reactor has a working volume of 1000L. FIGURE P7.12
